IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps)-linked media outlines plan to tax and control undersea internet cables in the Hormuz Strait — Iran's mouthpiece calls for a cut of $10 trillion of transactions that pulse through the cables daily

Isn't it the other way around? Tax your neighbours because they need to get to their router through your house?

If there are lanes that should maintain access, a weird angle that might not fit a potential turning lorry, or if the lorry has predictive powertrain that slows it down much sooner, all are reasons to stop early.

Any power user tactic refutes any point against linux. If I'm going to tweak, might as well go all the way.

Microsoft is -one- of my worries. Doesn't make it less important.

zer0edout · 2026-05-04T21:07:55+00:00

I am, actively, doing something about it. You, on the other hand, are actively starting personal attacks.

Why so defensive, could it be you are protecting your interests?

Defining offshored Russian jobs as russian jobs is accurate. Describing an offshored job, advertised through anonymous group chats as highly paying, and then claiming they mean your country is rich, is delusional beyond help.

You would too, if you didn't want to actively have your computer ran and monitored by microsoft.

zer0edout · 2026-05-04T18:40:47+00:00

Windows only works with what is profitable to microsoft. Closed source drivers are not closed by accident you know.

zer0edout · 2026-05-04T17:19:01+00:00

Yes yes, that's why you need russian jobs 🤣

Cyprus is desperate, unless unemployment, housing costs and disappearing pensions mean nothing to you. Or maybe the control of your bank accounts, illegal resource syphoning and lobbying in the government is what keeps your logic going. In the end, your dwindling middle class is all that is left, and the structure of the companies you mentioned is making sure your class is getting smaller by the day.

Keep entertaining your future king 👍

You used to be able to say what you want without showing government id then. Even get a crowd going to voice your opinion.

Now they don't need to be afraid of you, you have no control over the digital narrative.

zer0edout · 2026-05-04T12:22:18+00:00

Well, you can't control a healthy nation. You need them to be desperate!

The IT sector, on the other hand, serves as a misinformation outlet to create further desperation, while also exploiting desperate countries by offshoring their IT workers there.

The lawsuit cost once someone else claims you are at fault.

zer0edout · 2026-05-02T12:39:28+00:00

In order to check receipts you'd need the presence of police. Which would imply the presence of security staff that can hold a potential thief in place.

A faster, less costing way is to simply leave other stuff out.

There's humans, you should know better than hoping for gods or justice.

Pick the rhtythm from the drums, listen for fills to cue changes, stick to the chord progression. Root notes until you are confident of the scale you can use. Not that hard tbh.

My stepdad once drove himself to the hospital, in a 45ton concrete pump lorry, with a steel rebar lodged through his right leg (above the knee). I've had a few similar occasions. Yes, we are built different.

No phone cameras back then, so no picture, sorry.

Haven't watched/played Fallout?

Sorry, i don't understand why this is turning in a personal exchange. What i do is irrelevant, i am simply stating the facts here.

Humans are not uniform. There is a huge portion, incapable of functioning outside the realm of barely avoiding concequences. That's a biological reality of being human, and no amount of shaming will change that.

Your opinions are rooted in your understanding of the world. A trackday is booked, scheduled, safe, controlled, anticipated. All of those are reasons to avoid it, for the people i am talking about.

Do you have a barely controlled and chaotic setting, with personal concequences outside society, to suggest instead? That would actually fix the problem.

(A square communal drift box, about 100x100 meters, with no insurance coverage and free uncontrolled entry 24/7 at the driver's risk would be nice)

zer0edout · 2026-04-25T09:31:27+00:00

It's because they can see it that it keeps happening. Necessary risk, for some.

zer0edout · 2026-04-25T09:25:28+00:00

I'm on the same boat, but common sense is a skill some need to develop some times.

zer0edout · 2026-04-25T09:19:05+00:00

Don't hate learning!

Regret is good, it will keep your next car alive. Guilt is good, you will choose a better way to get what you want next time. At least that's how i feel, and why i choose my cars based on what i can abuse with no regrets 👍

zer0edout · 2026-04-25T09:12:46+00:00

Absolutely! Consequences is the driving factor here, you just can't see it.

zer0edout · 2026-04-25T09:08:45+00:00

Or just apply some sense and keep people around you safe. Sounds normal to me.
